HOW TO JOIN CROCHET SQUARES AND SEAMS [4 Easy Crochet Seaming Techniques for Beginners]

[@dribblet]

I've never seen anyone crochet so clean!

[@mls_words_of_wisdom]

I am just getting ready to attach a bunch of crochet blocks together for the daughter’s “going away to college” blanket and I will try these out to see which one she wants. Thanks so much!

[@jahbern]

How sweet! I’m just about to do the same for my daughter headed off to college in August. We live in Florida and she’s going to Michigan, so she’ll need something warm to remember us by ❤️

[@cleetus_]

Aww! Im a teen and have been crocheting for a couple years now. I look up to y’all! Hopefully i can do the same for my (hopefully) future kids!! xx

[@aliceshulz]

Best mom ever

[@aliceshulz]

@@cleetus_ so precious 🥰

[@jasam2373]

that's so cute

[@babiifrshj07]

The mattress stitch is like magic. Wow.

[@lenaeliza7230]

I'm mesmerized when you pull the mattress stitch and it just disappears into the seam. I love it!!! Thank you!

[@gabbym333]

Thank you for going so slow and showing everything step by step! Normally crochet videos go so fast, I have to slow down the speed, and pause it multiple times. This tutorial was much easier to understand!

[@poojalumb856]

The flat slip stitch is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

[@manipool]

So pretty!

[@alexandrasilva3441]

Me too!

[@daniellowe75]

Me too. I don't like sewing and I like the look of the flat slip stitch.

[@LindiweMngunk]

Thanks for a lovely tutorial ❤will use joining my next squares for another woollen blanket🎉

[@daniellesmith7301]

Does the back look the same as the front?

[@beverlyrosson3026]

I have been a crocheter for more than 40 years and I keep up with changes and new ideas through You Tube. You are, by far, my favorite instructer....I love the way you describe and demonstrate all your tips, tricks, stitches,..everything. I have learned sooo much from you and love your projects !!! My next step is Tunisian and I can't wait to start. Thank you for everything you do for us !!!!!

[@DéboraAlvesOliveira]

Thank you so much for these tutorials. I live in Brazil and had been looking for tutorial #4 for a long time, but no one was teaching how to do it. Then, out of nowhere, I found you. I’m very grateful for your generosity. Wishing you much success.

[@NikoDoggie]

Thank you! This was so helpful, the video was clear and concise. Will be watching more from your channel!

[@LilRedHead42]

Thank you for breaking these down in such an easy way to follow and see the differences. Really appreciate how much you do for the crochet community.

[@theresa2084]

The Flat slip stitch seam is the holy grail of seaming stitches!! Thank you so much!🥰

[@ruthhollenback1650]

I’ve learned so much watching your videos! I am a beginning beginner and your videos are very easy to understand.

[@DiannaLucas-t6h]

I have watched a lot of videos on how to join granny squares. I watched a lot because I wasn't getting what the others were communicating. I watched you and "got it" immediately. You were clear and concise and made perfect sense. Thank you!

[@Alixmmmm]

The two colors that you picked are so pretty!

[@Cosmiccoffeecup]

Agreed

[@mls_words_of_wisdom]

Love those colors too

[@carolinetemaipi571]

I love 💕 This program how to join your square to gether 🌹 a rose for yu

[@claremorley9845]

Oh, I like that last one: flat slip stitch seam. New one to me! Thank you 😊💓

[@conceicaoquevedo6940]

Eu também gostei do último.

[@smmills1094]

This has helped me so much! Only just learned to crochet (and still early days) but I made 42 Granny squares for a baby blanket with NO IDEA how best to join them. The flat slip stitch seam you've shared here is the perfect method - it looks so pretty against all the other bright colours. Thank you!

[@HellenaHanbasquet]

I've been crocheting for many years, this is a great tutorial. Your explanation is easy to follow and your work is gorgeous. I wish I had this (or even KZbin for that matter ) when I started. ❤️

[@mdbw3411]

I had never joined squares before, but this video inspired me to make a whole granny square blanket and join my squares with the mattress stitch! Thanks Toni 💛

[@reading.with.creepy.crawlies]

Good for you! Granny square blankets are a great project that can be completed in stages. I l9ve them.

[@ConnyNordlicht]

First time I understood matraze - stitch made by crocheting! WoW, thank you so much! I'm a knitting teacher and knit since ab.44 years, but specificly this one crochet stitch I was blind for. So you helt the light for me and made my day. Thanks and be blessed!Btw now myself disabled, not „only“ an ambulant whellzdriver I can't teach anymore, but give short tipps to all who ask. Now they all want all for nothing, although my money is less, way less than before and that was only as much as I needed and a bit I could give to pple in need. Now often I'm in need and noone cares. Without a few friends who are with me although my life now is I'd never be there anymore. I learned: Friends are worth way more than to be healthy. God is worth more than everything on earth. Td Be blessed and be healthy and „feed your friends“ ;)

[@crystalrose8658]

Everything is sp clear and neat !!! The crochet, the work, the explanation, EVERYTHING !!

[@bananafishu]

I was struggling with the slip stitch seam and thanks to your video I finally got it, thank you so much!

[@susanwalker6271]

great tutorial! You get right to the stitches without blabbing on forever before showing the stitches like other KZbin Crochet videos too. Your directions are great! Thank you!

[@melissaadams3133]

I'm new at crocheting so I've been watching a LOT of tutorials...you are by far the best one I've seen! Your voice is soothing, the colors you chose for this one made it easier to follow and learn. ***and you have pretty hands.

[@shannonirion5234]

The flat slip stitch seam was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial

[@juliaplowman5423]

I have made countless attempts to do blankets in crochet since starting to self teach during the pandemic, and the flat slip method was exactly what I was looking for

[@damnstuffdoodle]

I've been here for less than 30 seconds and I already wanted to comment and show my gratitude to this video and to you, the fact that you go straight to the point and have everything splitter makes it so much easy for me to finish my project 😅 thank you. This is amazing and truly a valuable content ❤

[@mariedixon9082]

Perfect timing! I just finished a whole bunch of squares that need joining to make a blanket. Thank you.

[@mls_words_of_wisdom]

Me too!!!!

[@shirleybarker7314]

I am pretty new to crochet and I love your channel. Everything is presented so well. Your directions are clear. The video is clear. There wasn't any background sound distracting from the instruction. There wasn't a cat and you didn't waste a bunch of time saying stuff that didn't need to be said. I LOVE the Flat Slip Stitch join. I am making a pair of really simple baby booties that uses a main color and a contrast color. They have to be seemed up the back. I had planned on doing one of the invisible stitches, but having seen this stitch, I now plan on using it up the back in the contrast color as an accent. I think it will be really cute that way. Thanks, Toni!

[@susancraig4190]

I love your web site. I’m not good at knitting or crocheting but you have taught me how to find errors and correct them. It like you are my Bible of knitting and crocheting. God Bless You

[@amandas.6317]

You have the most beautiful, even tension! I especially like the slip stitch join, I've never seen it before. Thanks, Toni!

[@PatriciaLane-kb9ru]

Hello Toni. Thank you for this video, it was very helpful for joining granny squares it was very helpful. I am making a granny square blanket from a baby blanket that I made for my youngest daughter about twenty years ago. Omg what a way for me to challenge myself to a challenge for me to finish a project. Please wish me luck Toni and who ever reads this comment. Happy stitching everyone.🧶🧶🧶

[@deennapirilli3823]

The best and clearest explanation of how to join granny squares using the slip stitch, thank you!!

[@RoxaneCastorena]

The flat stitch is great. That’s what I’m going to use now. Thank you.

[@debrichardlaplante7178]

I watched many joining videos and found that your video was clear and concise. Thank you for that.

[@cathybosman7193]

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 you are such a great teacher. I was nervous to join my squares, but now I have the confidence to do it. Love your calm voice. . Bless you💕💕🌹🌹🌹

[@meganhuff2346]

I've been a fan of mattress seaming, but after watching this I've been doing it wrong lol. I always appreciate how you break things down, thank you for the crochet academy.

[@Chickenrun666]

Love love love this video. Did I mention I love this video? I'm going to save this video because stitching pieces together is my Nemesis and you have slayed the Dragon.

[@lol-de8yx]

This is literally what I was waiting for these days, Toni, thank you so much, love your channel and your calming voice:)

[@reading.with.creepy.crawlies]

Toni's voice is so calm and patient. Crafter's cannot choice their voices, but some are unaware of the pitch or speed at which they talk. 😬 Toni's voice is calming - like ocean waves on a calm day. 🏖

[@CreativeExpress87]

Thank you for using different colours so we can see the result clearly!

[@maipopekpopek4747]

Beginner here! Just completed squares for a patchwork sweater. Found your video very helpful! Thank you!

[@reading.with.creepy.crawlies]

Thank you Toni! Friends who have picked up crochet as a hobby over the past two years (2020-2022) have conquered the granny square to establish tension and gauge. Now they have lots of squares. This video gives them four great options to tackle their squares. 👍🏻 I have been following you for at least 5 years(you still had a full time job) on Instagram, and find your tutorials, live videos, and creations to be wonderful. I love your patient voice most of all. Seeing how other people crochet the same connecting methods can help refine a skill, even if it has been performed for 40 years or more. The right teacher can make all the difference. ❤

[@catherinemcbride2662]

Best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with this beginner!

[@rosielangaigne8993]

This is the second time that I have seen your classes you are the best on explaining techniques. Where have you been my lady. Keep up the great work.

[@gxcloudz]

Thank you, I’m working on a granny square tote bag and this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@pjomdbfan]

me too :))

[@danielleburrell2907]

Me three 😂

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

The slip stitch is my number 1 FAVORITE! So clean and neat!

[@mirellakacinskis]

I've been following Crochet Academy and loving it! Thanks for putting this together for us! I just wanted to let you know that, for the first time ever in my (40 years of) life, I hit the little bell for notifications about new videos from a channel. That's how much I am enjoying the Academy, your content, the colors, the setup, even that calming narrator voice you have! 😁 I don't want to miss a thing! Hugs from Brazil

[@denisespencer6550]

Thank you for teaching me how to join the squares in different ways. Big up to you! Keep doing the good work!

[@MRusso99]

I LOVE how you did that and made that yarn disappear. You make it look so easy. I will be referring back to this video for help. Thank you so much for posting this video. 😄😄😄

[@vidhyahemmady948]

Am doing crochet granny squares. You have explained the joining of them so very well. Thanks for sharing.

[@MoonCat49]

Thank you for explaining the slip stitch join so simply. I've always found it pretty, but hard to master. Finally, I'm able to use this method with confidence.

[@GroovyDayBaby]

Thankyou so much for this great join video. I love learning and using different joins for my different granny square projects. Lately, I have been using the slip stitch method to join three Log Cabin Afghans, one for each grandson. I love the look of this slip stitch join for the Log Cabin Afghan. I appreciate the fine job you’ve done teaching and demonstrating all of the different joins.

[@lthom5158]

This is the clearest explanation of how to join squares I have seen! Thank You for this video!

[@kathyearixson5388]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I’ve put off making granny square blankets for years because I couldn’t work out how to attach them. This has helped tremendously. Many thanks.

[@madisoncavaness-furlong]

I am in awe at that mattress stitch! Amazing!! You made my day!

[@sportnenny]

really like seeing seaming techniques all together so i can compare them, thanks for the vid!

[@theresetuckness2300]

Ty on the four styles in connecting pieces together. I have a project and needed a style to connect them..thanks again.. Terri in WA state, USA

[@mireah]

I've been crocheting a few squares and haven't liked any of the ways I've been shown for connecting them. This is sooo much easer and beginner friendly. Thank you.

[@hananovinger]

I’ve been needing to stitch two peices together for almost a year now and the mattress seam will be perfect!! Thank you!

[@shiroshuo]

Honestly a lifesaver for having needle and crochet needle options compiled in this video. I only have a crochet needle and don't want to invest too much on supplies for my first project. But since I find myself getting into it, I want to learn more to make patterns of my own

[@janicejohnson5884]

Thank you SO much - the mattress stitch is exactly what I've been searching for to do the joins for my niece's first baby's blanket - so perfect, and VERY easy to follow your super clear instructions! Greatly appreciated!!!

[@kimrogers1829]

I absolutely love you tutorials. As a newbie, I love the way you explain. Especially when you say things like if you pull too tight, it will pucker. I love that because I also know what's going wrong. Absolutely the best!

[@josiewoodrose7616]

Thanks for showing a variety of joining stitches and how they look when completed.

[@florabraswell-nm1re]

Thank you “ You are such a good teacher, and you have so many great ideas , l have brain fog from nerve damage issues and may need to go over your video several times ‘ Thanks again , God Bless you for your teachings ! 🙏💜🙏

[@liesahealy-miller2156]

For a beginner like me, this is clearly explained and wry helpful. Thank you! ;)

[@jennifertheiss9472]

This mattress stitch joined my sweater's shoulder seams BEAUTIFULLY,and it was so easy to follow 🖤. Thank you!!!

[@TuellTimeAdventures]

Thank you for showing how to do the Flat Slip Stitch Seam. Your instructions were clear and easy to understand, and I had no problems following along as I did with other tutorials. Thanks again!

[@FunkyFreshCaesar]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was scratching my head for ages over a written guide, but you explained everything so clearly I got it right away and was finally able to finish putting together the mittens I've been working on!

[@PaganCurse98]

Oh my God thank you! I recently reverted back to working on single chains. Right now I'm focusing all my attention on making myself a purse. And I had my mom go and get yarn needles because I'm likely the only one in my family to even attempt to use them. For the past couple years my mom had me doing granny squares for blankets which gets so repetitive but makes very beautiful work. I recently made myself a triangular shawl and my mom was like I don't even wanna know how you learned how to do that. I use to follow made with love by glama but now I'm subscribed to you I hope to learn more from you so I can be very accomplished.

[@itssamiyoutube]

Thanks I'm trying to join a bunch of squares make a blanket mu friend sent me this video so I can learn how to do the stiches ta very much I'm a learner always doing something these squares were donated off my daughters school Spanish and gardening teacher so I'm grateful for her giving me a wonderful opportunity to learn how to make a blanket thanks for videos made a world of difference.

[@kimberlyshelton4823]

I'm always doing granny squares. So glad I found these connection ways.

[@plainsimplelady715]

i really love to watch u do crocheting, makes it really easy for me to follow along since we r both left handed, never seen anyone who demnstates to where i can understand it ty ty

[@randi1984]

I just asked in a group about different ways to attach my blocks besides the whip stitch and so many people shared your video! Thank you for these!

[@lisabaxley271]

Excellent tutorial!! Thank you.....

[@kaylamarshall6756]

The flat slip stitch is gorgeous. 😍

[@judevecoli865]

Thank you for this. I am a relative novice, so I haven't joined squares yet. I love the mattress stitch more than anything else I've seen and can't wait to use it!

[@shakuntalaapte333]

Thank You so much for showing so many vaiations on how to join Granny Squares! I am from India.

[@donnacrocker7101]

Excellent video!! Like some of the other commentary, I have quite a few squares to join to finish a couple of afghans and finding the appropriate joining method was crucial for a neat afghan. Thank you for video!!

[@marinacosgrove9593]

Toni, you are a brilliant teacher! Clear concise and complete. Thank you so much!

[@mogy6492]

Just started crocheting and I already have a bunch of squares ready to become something so went searching for a tutorial on connecting them, absolutely love this video

[@wootencj]

Thank you for the tip on the last technique! Going up a half size on the hook really saved me frustration!

[@arieslondon92]

Wow so many choices I think it be nice to learn them all to always have the choices to choice from like maby ur doing a fancy blanket and want it seemless not showing at all or maby a cute chunky patchwork looking quilt looking crochet blanket and I might use some of the ones like the last one that looks like a beautiful braid almost between the squares options are great it enhances ones skill set giving one more creative artistic choices . To me crochet is art it's how I express my artistic creative side .

[@WhYmicris0L69]

[@Dutch0704]

This is my first look into crocheting and I really enjoy watching your videos. I normally diamond paint and paint by numbers and do some of my own painting and drawing. I would love to learn how to crochet that would be awesome to pick this up with all my other arts and crafty stuff to do. I just need to get my kit together and know what all is right to throw together for getting started. Well hope to learn from you and your videos here in the future for sure. Thank you for posting and love your work. Happy crafting
